wood fired hot oil heater for stills or cookers

[ronjr]

Came across fairly good design for hot oil heater for small fuel processors...thought maybe some of you would like to see it...

this is a great way to heat boilers and cookers because oil can be held at higher temp than water and hot oil can be stored without much heat loss for a few days...this plan is for an atmospheric pressure version so it is not under pressure...this type is safer than a pressurized steam system in some ways...(as long as fabrication is done well)

A few items need some improvement like the door should be cast iron or it will eventually warp...you could use the door from a barrel stove kit for this...

but is a good old mother earth news free plan for basic wood fired hot oil heater for stills or cookers...
